@Wig/siii To alt whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, Cit/nanas Tonciin- BnUi and EDGARD nn Luxmann, citizens et the Republic of France, residing at 115 -Rue de Rome, Paris, France, hare invented new and Vuseful Improvements in Carbureting- Lamps, oit which the following is a specification.

This invention relates lo au inuirovement in the burner described in our prior speciiication Serial, No. 500,582) in which is employed an incandescent burner utilizing car- Abnreted aii" characterized by the employment of a carbureter formed of an agglomerate absorbent inass pierced with passages for the air to be carbureted, and connected to a wick dipping into the combustible liquid. The carbureter described in the specification is in addition characterized by a conductive rod in contact with the tiaine and continuously conducting heat to the absorbent mass.

The present invention relates to a convenient -torni ot construction ot' the invention, which is represented iu detail in the annexed *drawing in.. which-- i Figure l is a sectional elevation of the burner. Figi), is a .separate perspw-tive View of three of the elements of the carbureter.

As in the burner described in the original.

specification' the carbureter comprises a.

porous absorbent mass 2' of inconibustible material, -tor example, asbestos, pierced with a plurality of air passages 3, which mass, when the components ot' the burner are assembled is, on the one hand, connected to the Wick l which dips into the reservoir con-l taining" the combustible liquid, and on the other hand, to a. conductive rod 4L of which the upper end is immersed ii'i the ltlaine, the rod thus becoming highly heated and by conduction transmittingto the mass 2V sut'- iicient heat to vaporize the combustiblev liquid therein. Y

The characteristic feature of the new form `ot construction ot' the present invention is that these three elements, namely, the absorbent mass 2, the Wick. l and the conductive rod d, while being all intimately con- Specication of Letters Patent.

nected when assembled in the burner,-are capable oit' bein` disconnected with speed and facility, thus permitting any one of them to be easily replaced, and especially facilitating the cleansing of the absorbent mass aflter it has become. elegge',

As shown in the dra-wing, the absorbent mass 2 pierced with passages 3 'is in the iorin ot an independent cylinder, which is iirinly pressed on the expanded.'extremity of the wick l. The wick holder l5 prefer-4 ably comprises two crossed U-shaped wires and has setinto its upper part a circular flange a, and it is between this flange and the mass 2 that `the expanded part of the 4wick is gripped, by means of' the screw- 'threaded parts b and c of the casing, and

by kmeans of the springl g.

The conductive rod 4 is at its lower end inserted into a central passage Z in the absorbent inass 2, and by the means. of a collar c rests upon a conductive disk j" which it passes through, and which is supported on the upper surface of the mass 2. The spring j/ which insures contact between the mass L) and the cxpainled part of the wick, bears, on the one hand, against the part. c of the casing, and on the other hand, on the collar e of the rod, thus insuring the rod from; displacement.- y

A simple examination of the drawings shows that by merely unscrewing the two parts c and Z of the casing, the carbureter can be disconnected, and the absorbent inass 2 removed when it is necessary to cleanse it of excess of dirt accumulated by .a pas'- sage of the liquid fuel to the flaine.

lVe clainil. In a device of the character described, the combina-tion with a mass of absorbent material provided with air assages therethrough, of a wick presse against said mass, a rod having'one end protruding into the mass and its opposite end extending into the Haine zone, anda resilient medium adapted to engage the rod and designed to hold the rod, the Inass and the wick in releasable engagement. 2.
